The beastie boys shout out

What Beastie Boys shout-out? who and what does this pertain to?

EDIT: I thought I was in the Lounge.

nfl should change the rules for penalties. no more automatic first downs you get the yards but have the same set of downs and yards to go.

It’s always been terrible. If that was 3rd & 18 instead of 3rd & 8 it would be objectively stupid. 5 yard penalties should not be automatic first downs.

On the other hand, I’ve already had a couple people (not here) get served receipts to their reactions to the Saints/Rams NFC Championship Game.

 

[Troy McClure]

Let’s be honest, if Hurts doesn’t fumble the ball and give up 7 single-handily, Philly wins. Hurts let his team down

If you were being honest, you’d admit you were wrong.

 

[GKJ]

not a big fan of football but that was a lousy finish to an actual good game
my only issue with NFL is there's no team in Toronto so finding a team is almost impossible to me, I just dont know how to pick a team.
and there's just too much stop and go.

Modern sports is just going with the vibes. Eventually it will be calling to you.

Just pick a team and don't be a band wagon jumper. Maybe a certain player's play will sway you to their team

That’s what coaches do when they watch tape. Find plays where the opposition struggled to stop. The key was that inside guy, Kelce on the first one as the eagles were focussed on making sure they had him covered but didn’t switch off like they should. That’s on the eagles DC and DB coaches for not handling that after the Jags game and after the first KC TD on that play.

He made up for it with the rest of his play, vs the Eagles defense that was crap all game (not surprisingly).

 

[Voight]

There best friends wearing black and white certainly believed in them.

Hey now... Eagles got some help too yesterday.... and against the 49ers.

True. I guess the most important thing to say is how much officiating sucks.

The second time was really like ‘oh, let’s see if they adjust the coverage. No? lmao’

The primary was the WR but if Philly switched off then KC would have the matchup on Kelce that they wanted. First TD it was Slay on Kelce so if a Philly did switch then slay goes with Toney and leaves the other DB on Kelce which is what the were hoping for as well.

"Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry made a surprising admission about his part in the controversial call that impacted the end of Super Bowl LVII.
Bradberry was called for holding on a key 3rd-and-8 with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter. Instead of an incomplete pass, the call gave the Chiefs an automatic first down, and allowed them to run down the clock almost all the way. Without the flag, the Eagles’ offense would have had nearly two full minutes to tie or win the game.

Many were furious with the call, but Bradberry admitted after the game that the flag had been correct.


From a tweet by Mike Giardi:
"For those who didn't like the call on James Bradberry, here's the word from the man himself: “It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide.""

 

[Breakers]

That defensive line for the eagles should be embarrassed

garbage performance

that is not an all-time defensive line like they tried to hype them up to be.

 

[StreetHawk]

When has the nfl began painting the Super Bowl number so large around the 30 yard line? Is that really necessary?

For their biggest game to have that kind of footing issue is a bad look for The nfl.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Hurts was good, but this was hardly an all time performance.

Maybe not all-time but I don't know how anyone can have any other takeaway from this game that Jalen Hurts is a superb quarterback, something he's shown all season.

 

[The Note]

Hurts balled out, he was making great throws and the pass catchers were making some remarkable grabs. They needed it to, because outside of Hurts they didn't have much of a run game from their RBs.

I was surprised the Eagles either didn’t get more out of their RBs or didn’t try to run it more. Figured they would have.

Smith not being able to survive going to the ground late in the first half was huge. That would have put them at the KC 20 or something with plenty of time and a pair of TO. Massive swing if they could have put that in for a TD va getting a FG to close the half.

Hurts guided the team to 4 TD and 2 FG drives. But that has to be netted against his fumble. That’s still 27 points typically,

Punter with a horrible punt late, that line drive with no hang time.

I see Rihanna's publicist confirmed that she is pregnant. So that was the "special guest" of the performance.

Its never been better ?

The Eagles punt and kick return has been terrible all year. Killed them tonight. Cant spot the Chiefs basically two touchdowns, one of them the quarterback just dropped the ball.

 

[JTBF81]

Of course Brady had a better statline. The Bucs o-line was giving Brady all the time in the world. Meanwhile the Bucs were getting consistent pressure and pocket collapse off just rushing 4.

You can spin it how you like, in the end, my original point remains correct. Brady outplayed and beat him twice when it mattered. K.C. didn't adjust at all in that game and Mahomes was very much the inferior QB.

Turnovers and special team play would be big. Eagles got a good return to their 40 just before the half. If smith holds onto that deep shot to the ground who knows if Philly is able to cash that in for a TD vs settle for a FG.

 

[Moose Head]

It’s not a matter of whether or not it was a hold. The problem is they didn’t call it the entire game until the end. They could’ve called a hold on like every play.

Prove it. Nobody has

If the officials were biased, that Philly catch and fumble for a KC TD isn’t called back. 10 pt swing in the Eagles favour right there

No sacks on Mahomes all night
